About Me

I am 46 years old, working at a wines and spirits shop which I started operating for the last five years now. I need to expand my business due to competition over the years.

My Business

I get profit from the sale of wines and spirits. I get around Kshs 200,000/- per month, which translates to a profit of around Kshs.50,000/- per month

Project Proposal

I had to change my business after the covid 19 pandemic from wines and spirits to farming. If my proposal is funded, I will use the money to prepare my farm by ploughing and planting maize on the 2 acres of land I have leased. I expect to harvest at least 20 bags of maize from this land. I am sure that from the harvest, I will now be able to lease bigger land to plant a variety of seeds in the coming year.

    Thank you so much my supporters for funding my project. I was able to buy additional stocks of chemicals for preparing liquid soap and jik, so now I will be able to increase my sales.

    Thank you so much Zipporah, Terence, Jimmy and Benedict for funding my project. With these funds, I will buy maize seedlings so that I can plant them. After the harvest, I will be able to sell the maize and get funds to plough 2 more acres of land. Thank you once again for making my project possible with your assistance. I hope to assist others after the harvest.

    Josephine and Emma, may God bless you beyond your expectations. I'm truly and sincerely grateful for the funding. I will be able to use these funds to buy gunny bags to put the maize once I harvest it by the end of this month so that I can sell the maize. I expect to sell most of the maize and open a cereals shop.

    I was able to increase stocks in my wines and spirits during the Christmas season and got a lot of profit. Thank you very much for the funding.

    I have had an unexpected medical emergency and might take a while to recover, hence the need to reschedule.
